Information Ham Ninh Fishing Village

Ham Ninh commune is located on the east of the island. Mountains and
forests are at the back and the immense sea at the front. People live
by Ham channel. Houses here remain primitive features with cottage
roofs and bamboo wattles. The community life relies on pearl diving,
catching holothurians and netting crabs. Formerly, people came here to
do fishing and then formed this village. Ham Ninh is a safe and sound
wharf for boats. Sail junks and wooden barges from the land moor here
to load goods and seafoods to transfer to other places. The sea is
still shallow several hundreds of meters far from Ham Ninh wharf.

At
low tide, the beach stretches out infinitely. Conversely, the water
overflows the beach to the forest edge at high tide. Tourists can see
islands appear at a distance within the archipelago Hai Tac (Ha Tien)
from Ham Ninh beach. Slanting to the southeast, Nghe islet slightly
appears on the dark blue water. To the south, it is Mr Doi cape – the
last cape of the island. Coming at Ham Ninh in the morning or on
moonlighted nights, tourists can entirely enjoy the beauty of the sea.
The scene of sunset over the sea is also great. It is a must for
tourists to try boiled crabs here. The crab is its specialty and can
almost be found anytime. Crabs boiled which has just been caught from
the sea, has fresh red color and firm meat. They are very delicious
when eaten with salt mixed with pepper and lemon juice.

Leaving Ham Ninh, tourists should bring several tens of crabs home to enjoy with friends.
